OURAY COUNTY – As of press time Wednesday, there were six Ouray County residents who had sent applications to Governor Hickenlooper's office seeking to fill the vacancy created by Commissioner Heidi Albritton's departure.
The governor has until Aug. 24 to appoint a replacement, who will serve through the end of the year when a new commissioner, the winner in November in the contest between Republican Don Batchelder and Independent Pat Willits, takes office.
Willits has indicated he is one of the applicants for the temporary seat. He was unavailable (out of contact on a river trip) for comment this week.
The governor's appointee must be a registered Unaffiliated voter, since Albritton left office as Unaffiliated, and reside in her Commissioner District 3. Among the others to send in their resumés are Cathy McElman, Ben Tisdel, "Planet" Janet Smith, Larry Coulter, and Christen Davis.
Coulter told The Watch that he has been Unaffiliated for "just the last couple of weeks, since I heard about Heidi's resignation. I understand her decision, but I was disappointed that she turned her back on her constituents."
Coulter said he "didn't have any burning issue or ax to grind," just that he'd "like to see a kind of neutral, unbiased bridge between Heidi and the new commissioner, whoever that's going to be."
He did express "concern that Pat Willits would possibly get a one-up as an incumbent" in the November election.
McElman, who also switched from being a registered Republican, told The Watch, "I don't feel that I should comment at all until the [governor's] decision is made."
Tisdel, a native of Ouray and contemporary of Albritton's said, "Yes, I did put my name in. As a kind of back-up, if Pat Willits is not appointed to the seat. I really prefer that Pat be appointed, but I know what Heidi's been doing, I understand the work, and I'd be willing to care-take the position for five months."
He indicated he would not be interested in running for election to a seat on the board.
Smith, who lost a race for Ridgway Mayor this spring, said in her application letter, "Margaret Thatcher lost her first election" and went on to become known as The Iron Lady. As for the temporary commissioner seat, she said, "I am running for public office because I see opportunity passing us by and time is not on our side."
Davis, née Duckett, owner of Duckett's Market in Ouray and another contemporary of Albritton's at Ouray High School, said she threw her hat in the ring "essentially because I would like to give more back to the community. Be more involved. Heidi and I share a lot of views. I've been Unaffiliated for several years."
It is unclear from the governor's press release if there is a cut-off date for applicants to the position. The only date certain is Aug. 24, when the appointment will be announced.

The loss spoiled Handley's first trip as far as the state semifinals since 1961, when the Tigers lost to Priceville in the Class A state final.
Handley finished its season 26-8, while J.O. Johnson (22-8) advanced to Saturday's 3 p.m. final against Madison County.
Handley got 32 points from Trae Dunson and led for much of the first half and deep into the third quarter. The Tigers went up by 10 point twice and led 34-24 at halftime.
Missed free throws proved costly. So did 18 turnovers, 15 of which came on J.O. Johnson steals. The Jaguars scored 23 points off turnovers.
J.O. Johnson tied the game twice in the third quarter then took the lead, 47-45, on Ervin Garner's layup to open the fourth quarter.
Handley never led in the fourth quarter but tied the game at 56 on two Trae Kyles free throws with 4:00 to play.
Charles Woodard answered with a layup, and the Jaguars led the rest of the way.
Keon Ray led J.O. Johnson with 17 points. Woodard and Lionel Love had 11 apiece.

Tickets are still available for the annual St. Thomas Ball, which is Saturday at the Parrish Center. The night's activities begin with a silent auction at 6 p.m., a dinner at 7 p.m., a live auction beginning after dinner is served at about 7:30 p.m., a dance from 9 p.m. to 1:30 a.m., and a raffle prize drawing at 10:30 p.m.
There is a masquerade theme for this year's ball, and attendees are encouraged to bring a mask. This is the first year that the ball has hosted a full sit-down meal. The dinner will include beef, chicken and pork as well as potatoes and a salad.
Both the silent and live auctions will include many items to buy. Each class at St. Thomas Aquinas School have painted chairs that will be auctioned. In addition, classes are preparing baskets that will include a variety of items in one theme. Jenny Maharry, volunteer chairperson for the ball, said that items include a large golf package for four people, donated from Riverside Golf and Casino, a mystery dinner theater package, a backyard activities package and more.

Chairs decorated by St. Thomas Aquinas classes will be auctioned off during the ball. Other donated items include a golf package, a spa package and a bed and breakfast package.
Raffle tickets are also for sale at the event. The prizes include the grand prize of $10,000, a second prize of a 55-inch LG HDTV with Sound bar and Blu-Ray DVD player and a third prize of $1,000 in SCRIP gift cards. Maharry said that raffle winners don't have to be present during the drawing to win.
The goal for this year's ball is to raise $160,000 that will fund projects at the St. Thomas Aquinas School. While the funds are usually used for general purposes, Maharry said that the school is looking to purchase new technology this year. The school is planning a 1-to-1 iPad program that will begin next school year and is also looking to purchase new smartboards for classrooms. Last year, the Ball raised $148,850 for the school.
To purchase tickets, call St. Thomas School, 832-1346. Tickets must be purchased in advance and are not available at the door.

Straight Shooting
Bob Lutz, president of Chrysler, tells it like it is...all the time.
Paul A. Eisenstein
From the Print Edition:
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Summer 96
With an angry roar, the fighter bursts through the clouds. Banking steeply, it dives toward the runway, as if ready to start strafing. At the last minute, the pilot levels off, bringing the Aero L-39 in for a smooth, 120-knot landing. The engine whines shrilly as it taxis toward the hangar, the Plexiglas canopy already opening as the jet rolls to a stop. Behind his visor, the pilot coolly completes his post-flight check. Satisfied, he cuts the power, only then permitting himself a broad grin, another mission successfully completed. Climbing out of the cramped cockpit, reaching for a foothold, his well-polished boot swings past the name stenciled onto the camo-green fuselage: Capt. Robert A. Lutz, USMC (Reserve). While he may no longer be a member of the active services, Bob Lutz, 64, is more active than ever.
With his patrician manner and rugged good looks--ramrod straight posture, a thick brush of silver-white hair and a smile that twists, impishly, from the corners of his mouth--Lutz could be the Marine Reserve's poster boy, the response to (now retired) Air Force Brig. Gen. Chuck Yeager. Smart, strong-willed and unabashedly opinionated, Lutz is the proverbial rugged individualist--whether piloting his Czech-made Albatros fighter-trainer, charging a tight corner on a race track or negotiating the labyrinths of the corporate boardroom as president of the nation's number three automaker. He is a survivor, with a cat-like talent to bounce back to life after every setback. All the while, Lutz is likely to be chewing on the end of a hand-rolled cigar.
While he hasn't the household name of his former boss and mentor, Lee Iacocca, Lutz also owes his share of fame and fortune to Chrysler Corp. Or perhaps, Chrysler owes it to him. In 1989, the automaker was a financial basket case. With a dated line of uninspired automobiles, Chrysler was nearing bankruptcy--again--its second brush with death in less than a decade. With Iacocca off raising money for pet projects like the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, Lutz was left in charge. It was the opportunity he'd been waiting for all of his life.
Lutz's philosophy was simple: "You can't be all things to all people. You have to provide the customer with a very clear-cut choice." When the first generation of new Chrysler products rolled off the drawing board and out the factory door in 1992, they won rave reviews. Suddenly, Chrysler became the darling of the media and Wall Street, which was pleased by a succession of record profits. Inside the corporation, however, Lutz got the cold shoulder. He'd scrabbled with Iacocca once too often, sealing his fate by scuttling a proposed link-up with Italy's Fiat S.p.A.--a deal that would have earned Iacocca millions in stock profits. When the 67-year-old Iacocca chose a successor, the once-anointed Lutz was pointedly passed over for an outsider, Robert J. Eaton, then head of General Motors Corp.'s successful European subsidiary, GM of Europe.
Unruffled, Lutz showed a side he'd seldom exhibited before: the ability to swallow his pride. "Being a team player, which I am, you don't sulk and quit when someone else is selected captain of the team," he declared under the glare of a dozen TV klieg lights. It may have been the best decision Lutz has ever made. If he had any doubts, he's discovered there's no shame in being number two. If anything, the president of Chrysler Corp. is having so much fun he has decided to postpone his retirement.
Son of an affluent Swiss banker, Bob Lutz traces his jet-setting ways back to his youth, when he traveled frequently with his father, Robert, on business trips to the United States. Lutz also developed an early taste for automobiles. As a three-year-old, he says, he could identify anything on the road by make and year. "I was a tiny idiot savant, saying, '1929 Ford Model A,'" Lutz recalls with a laugh.
Discipline didn't come naturally. He was, if anything, a wild child. "Seriously behind" in his classes, he was tossed out of boarding school for a series of infractions. Before resettling in the United States, his frustrated father gave the unruly son one more chance to get a high school diploma: He would pay for one more year of school if Bob, then 22, joined the Marines. It wasn't a difficult choice. As a dawdling youngster in the waning days of World War II, Lutz would sketch fighter planes in his notebooks and fantasize about dogfights over Berlin. "I kept hoping the war would last long enough so I could get up in a P-51 and be an ace."
There was a colder war waging when Lutz signed up, so the young Marine recruit had time to tackle the enemy within. He soon earned his wings and by the time he left active duty, in 1959, Lutz was well on his way to a degree from the University of California-Berkeley, which he earned in 1961. A year later he received his master's degree, with highest honors, for a thesis on the interaction between product design and product image.
The Marines taught Lutz another lesson: how to enjoy a good cigar. Stationed on a helicopter carrier off the Philippines, recalls Lutz, "I'd go up to the flying bridge with a friend and sit in the captain's chair to smoke and watch the sun go down. I learned to associate the cigar with peace, relaxation, friendship and beautiful locations."
Lutz comes from a long line of cigar smokers. His father smoked until he was 80, and there's a portrait in the family home of a great-great-grandfather cherishing a cheroot. "The arthritis in his left hand formed a natural bridge for him to hold his cigar," Lutz recalls from family lore.

|Brief Title ICMJE
|Sunitinib Malate or Sorafenib Tosylate in Treating Patients With Kidney Cancer That Was Removed By Surgery
|Official Title ICMJE
|ASSURE: Adjuvant Sorafenib or Sunitinib for Unfavorable Renal Carcinoma
|Brief Summary
This randomized phase III trial is studying sunitinib malate to see how well it works compared to sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating patients with kidney cancer that has been removed by surgery. Sunitinib malate and sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving sunitinib malate or sorafenib tosylate after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. It is not yet known whether sunitinib malate is more effective than sorafenib tosylate or placebo in treating kidney cancer.
|Detailed Description
I. To demonstrate an improvement in disease-free survival in locally advanced renal cell carcinoma patients randomly assigned to adjuvant sunitinib (sunitinib malate) (Arm A) or sorafenib (sorafenib tosylate) (Arm B) versus placebo (Arm C) after radical or partial nephrectomy.
I. To compare overall survival of patients randomized to each of the two regimens with placebo.
II. To further define the toxicity of prolonged administration of sunitinib or sorafenib in this patient population.
III. To prospectively collect tumor and biological specimens to assess their characteristics and associations:
IV. Novel approaches to assess angiogenesis markers in tissue, blood and urine as predictors of disease-free survival and of therapeutic benefit.
V. The frequency of oncogene and tumor suppressor gene mutations as predictors of disease-free survival and therapeutic benefit.
VI. Tumor and genetic polymorphisms as predictors of disease-free survival and therapeutic benefit.
VII. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation profiles as predictors of outcome and of therapeutic benefit.
VIII. The relationship of polymorphisms in drug metabolizing enzymes with steady state concentrations of sorafenib and sunitinib in selected patients.
IX. To study the effect of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) targeted therapy on circulating endothelial cells and circulating endothelial progenitors.
X. To prospectively assess patient-reported fatigue in order to compare the magnitude and trajectory of fatigue among renal cell carcinoma (RCC) patients randomized to adjuvant sunitinib (Arm A) or sorafenib (Arm B) to placebo (Arm C).
XI. To evaluate the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Fatigue-Short Form (SF)1, a newly developed state-of-the-science PROMIS measure for fatigue and to calibrate the PROMIS Fatigue-SF1 with the established, validated Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue scale.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter study. Patients who have not had surgical resection undergo radical or partial nephrectomy first. Patients are then randomized to 1 of 3 treatment arms.
ARM A: Patients receive oral sunitinib malate once daily for 4 weeks followed by rest for 2 weeks and oral placebo for sorafenib tosylate twice daily for 6 weeks.
ARM B: Patients receive oral sorafenib tosylate twice daily for 6 weeks and oral placebo for sunitinib malate once daily for 4 weeks followed by rest for 2 weeks.
ARM C: Patients receive oral placebo for sorafenib tosylate as in arm A and oral placebo for sunitinib malate as in arm B.
In all arms, treatment repeats every 6 weeks for up to 9 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Tumor tissue is collected prior to or during nephrectomy. Blood and urine samples are collected at baseline and periodically during study for biomarker correlative studies.
Patients complete quality of life questionnaires, the FACIT-fatigue scale and the PROMIS fatigue form, at baseline, and after courses 2 and 4 of treatment.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for 9 years.

Jack Weprin, international kart racer, coming off an impressive 2013 with numerous podiums in the United States as well as very competitive showings in Europe and the UK, will be sporting new colors for 2104.
January 24, 2014 /MM-prReach/ —
Jack Weprin, international kart racer, coming off an impressive 2013 with numerous podiums in the United States as well as very competitive showings in Europe and the UK, will be sporting new colors for 2104. Weprin, or "Frost" as he's known by many, will be representing the PSL Factory Race Team in North America and CRG SPA in Europe in 2014.
The switch to the CRG chassis, with only a few days of testing has gone smoothly and Weprin looks comfortable and confident on track. Asked about the change, Weprin said "The CRG chassis requires a very different driving style than I was used to so I have quickly re-invented my style to better suit it. I have been taken by how far the CRG chassis can be pushed and how precisely it can be tuned. I am very excited to race on a kart that will allow me to push my limits. There may still be a bit of a learning curve ahead but I'm looking forward to exploring the performance characteristics of the chassis and capitalizing on it's strengths and advantages. I'm especially excited and thankful to be working with such successful and experienced teams. I expect a great year of growth and development for myself, my teams and the CRG arsenal of equipment. In other words, an excellent year of racing!".
The new partnerships are much more than a chassis change. For the first time in his short career Weprin will be a member of large professional cutting edge teams with the technology and expertise that comes with that. This is a valuable milestone for Weprin as his racing career develops and where increasingly races will be won by teams, not just by drivers.
Team Manager Andrew Campbell says "We are pleased to welcome Jack to the PSL Factory Race Team. In an era where the Rotax is the leading engine program, Jack will be a huge asset with the development of the chassis in an effort to improve the performance on the Mojo tire. It's important to have drivers like Jack who are methodical in their race-craft. As well, Weprin will certainly be able to provide guidance for the younger drivers looking to improve their current skill set."
Today Weprin will be competing in the qualifying rounds of the Florida Winter Tour Rotax Series at Homestead-Miami Speedway where he won the Formula Kart Series Championship as a Junior last year. Weprin is looking forward to racing in the United States, Canada and Europe in 2014.

I created a 3 module aggregator project with a preloader jpg file using Captivate 5 and published as both a zip and html file. When I play the html on my local machine, it plays fine. But, when I have one of the web developers upload the zip files to the server she says that she gets a flash player error when she tries to test it. I've used the aggregator in Captivate 4 with no problems (when using AS2) so I'm not sure what could be causing this error. Does anyone have any ideas?
Here's the information I received from the developer: a pop up box saying Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
I often get that message when previewing on my local machine (with regular projects, not aggregator projects), but it doesn't happen when I upload
to the web and run the html.
I have Windows 7 and I assumed it was because of the built-in security.
Do you and your developer have different OSs?
Hi Marion,
I asked her to try again and here's what she said she did:
I unzip the online library folder, double click the onlinelibrary.swf file(the standard.js file is in the same folder), got the popup window as follows
After I click ok, it play the movie. Then I upload the file to server, but it does not work(frozen the server). So can you remake it again as the rest of all video works just fine. BTW, I use flash player 9.
Apparently, she tried it first on her machine which has flash player 9 and then only uploaded the single .swf file to the server. I was told by another developer that she needs to add the standard.js code to the html file. It appears she doesn't want to do this so I have to compile all the .cptx files into one. So, it looks like you were right about her testing locally, but she's also not uploading the files correctly on the server.
Hello Judy,
The dialog you are getting is Flash security setting dialog. This will not appear if you add the folder path in the Flash Security dialog box at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager04.html
For the other issue of not playing in web server, which web server are you using? Can you send me a sample project to firstname.lastname@example.com? I can check it from my end.

The brimstone-red lighting and multitude of candles effectively evokes a devil's playground, plus there's a bordello-themed bar downstairs festooned with deer-antler chandeliers. The Mexican menu veers into Euro territory with potato and cheese croquettes to be dipped in chipotle mayo, ancho chile–marinated "carne frites" and croque monsieur chimichangas. There are also staples like nachos, tacos and enchiladas.

The Billboard
From the opening sounds of GOOD CHARLOTTEs fourth album Good Morning Revival -- which launches with an artful, innovative sound collage that slides into the irresistible Misery-- its evident that the world-famous band whove sold over nine million albums has revolutionized its sound for 2007. And by the time the optimistic parting shot March On rolls around, its evident that this is the vibrant, adventurous and unexpected rock album that has redefined the group.
Returning to work with producer Don Gilmore (Pearl Jam, Linkin Park, Avril Lavigne) -- who helmed Good Charlottes eponymous 2000 breakthrough debut -- was the decisive change that reinvigorated the band. After a pair of successful albums like 2002s tremendously popular triple platinum The Young and the Hopeless and 2004s subsequent million-selling follow-up The Chronicles of Life and Death (which were realized with producer Eric Valentine), GC singer Joel Madden says its modus operandi on Good Morning Revival (Epic/Daylight) was simply to make a record that we loved and that felt good.
In an effort to achieve that goal, Gilmore challenged Joel and his identical twin, Good Charlottes guitarist Benji Madden, to bring their A game. And he was highly critical. We threw out 50 or 60 songs and pretty much started over, Benji says. Don was like, I want to reinvent you guys. I want people to ask themselves, Is that Good Charlotte?
We wanted to love every track, bassist Paul Thomas explains. Our goal this time out was to make it an awesome listen straight through. No fucking filler, man.
For the Maddens, who -- unlike their bandmates Paul, guitarist/keyboardist Billy Martin and new Good Charlotte drummer Dean Butterworth -- had become fixtures of the paparazzi-addled L.A. nightclub scene as well as prominent DJs, the opportunity to ship up to Vancouver to create new music was absolutely necessary and remarkably fruitful.
The first day in British Columbia the Maddens had the bulk of Victim of Love, the contagious harmony-laden rock & roll song, down. We knew we were onto something, Joel explains. And literally every day it was like we were writing a new song. After two months in Canada, isolating ourselves and getting away from everything that we were comfortable with was amazing. We came away with most of what you hear on this record.
By the time the group officially hit the studio with Gilmore, the downtime between its last tour and its official reconvening was as therapeutic as it was motivational. The fact that we were able to stop, take a deep breath and kind of find some appreciation for all that weve accomplished has a lot to do with why this record sounds as vital and electrifying as it does, says Martin. We used to just take every offer that came our way and wed never get much in the way of downtime. Now that weve had that time off it feels like a new band in a lot of ways.
One of the albums highlights is its first single: the blistering, unforgettable rocker The River, an impassioned song about sin and redemption that traverses the dark side of Los Angeles. For the song, the band brought longtime friends and fellow musicians M. Shadows and Synyster Gates (of Avenged Sevenfold) into the mix, marking the first time Good Charlotte has officially collaborated with another artist on an album. It turned out to be a natural fit for both bands.
Weve been friends with Avenged for a longtime. This wasnt planned, but it ended up working out, Joel explains. We were sitting around listening to some new music and they liked that song so we asked them to jump on. It felt right and sounded really cool. Aside from being friends of ours, were also fans of their music and since this is our first collaboration, we couldnt be happier that theyre a part of our record.
Good Morning Revival sustains its momentum with tracks like the fuzzy, club-driven Dancefloor Anthem and the genre-defying, Gorillaz-like You Tube favorite Keep Your Hands Off My Girl (which was introduced to audiences on the bands U.S. fall 2006 tour and will be the lead single in Europe, Asia and South America). Good Charlotte has proven that it can thrive in a number of musical realms.
Honestly, the first time I heard it, I was like, Are you fucking kidding me? People will never know thats a Good Charlotte song, concedes Billy. And then Joels like, Well, thats the point! But soon enough it had me in its clutches.
Its kind of weird, Joel says. That song takes a lot of balls. I know some people will listen to it and probably think, No thank you. Its definitely not as if we sat down and penned a piece of art. Its kind of like a sarcastic take on the whole club scene.
Elsewhere, on the hard-charging dance beat-steered rocker, Misery -- in which the singer observes the tacky, plastic, shallow, empty people that distinguish the City of Angels -- the keyboards are really pronounced. While the gorgeous A Beautiful Place, which evokes strains of Travis, The Beach Boys and the Flaming Lips, asserts that Good Charlotte is as much of a bona fide pop band and serious chart contender as it is a techno group or a punk quintet.
I wrote that song in Mexico, Benji says of A Beautiful Place. I was down there during hurricane season and I was in this beautiful beach environment. I had a night off and I was just thinking about how lucky Ive been. Thats a real Dean [Butterworth] moment. It was different when we wrote it, but then Dean started playing that real pronounced drum part. The drums are part of the hook. And it changed the whole sound.
Speaking of new vibes, the ups and downs of relationships propel rock anthems like Break Her Heart and the opposites attract tack of Something Else. These songs, along with the tender, melodic ballad Where Would We Be, find Joel -- who recently ended a lengthy, highly-publicized relationship with a certain movie star -- putting his feelings out there for public scrutiny. Im sure people are going to say these songs are about this or that, he admits. Love is a big part of me and Ive accepted that and its in my music. And Im not afraid to just show it.
Such honesty coupled with success and personal growth couldnt help but inform Good Morning Revival. This record shows a lot more of us than anything weve done in the past, Benji says. Because its hard to be an angry kid, all mad at the world when youve got it so good. I mean, that angst will always be there for Joel and I because of the way we grew up. Our father wasnt the best role model as people know. But I definitely have a moment every day where I go, Wow. What a rad life. I look at myself as being really blessed.
To which Joel adds, Its been a roller coaster ride for us in our own little way. We were up, then we kind of went down a bit. But now were up again. I think our new record has really been as much about looking back as it is about moving forward. Weve realized a lot, and Im really grateful that were still doing what we love.
Revitalized and inspired, Good Morning Revival finds Good Charlotte at its creative pinnacle.

A 10-year-old's fight for new lungs helps get a temporary win for another child.
We've been reporting on how this week, after a long battle, Sarah Murnaghan got the news her family has been waiting for – the possibility of new lungs!
A judge ruled Wednesday that, for the next 10 days, Sarah will go on the adult transplant list.
Now, an 11-year-old boy has been placed on the list, also on orders from a federal judge.
It took an emergency hearing Wednesday afternoon to make it all happen.
Current organ donation policy states that a potential recipient must be 12 years or older.
So, the judge issued a temporary restraining order that suspends the "under 12 rule."
Courtroom audio obtained by FOX 29 News has Judge Michael Baylson saying, "She might be dead! And that would be a terrible tragedy. So that's another reason, a very practical reason. In my view, it's a better exercise of my discretion to grant the TRO (temporary restraining order), to do so and to do it right now."
It's possible that the organ transplant network that makes the rules will decide to change the policy at an emergency meeting scheduled for Monday.
We're told that the boy being added to the adult list is in desperate need for a lung as well, but not quite as desperate as Sarah.
FOX 29's Claudia Gomez has more courtroom audio in this video report, including the arguments made by lawyers for Sarah's family on her condition and how they argued the organ donation policy constitutes age discrimination.

This blog is meant to begin some discussion around why more people don't use the Z groups, and as a component of that problem, why so many clubs or activist organizations don't even use online forums.
Many people seem to underestimate the potential of Z groups. I believe this based on 1) what I have heard from people directly and 2) the discrepancy between the number of people who agree with the general ideals of Znet or parecon, who therefore have an interest in organizing, and the number of people who find Z groups useful for organizing based on these ideas.
I think the reason Z groups are underestimated is that activist groups rarely make conscious decisions about their modes of organization, and have unexamined biases against online communication.
At the simplest level, Z groups have advantages in communication in comparison to meeting in person, using the telephone, or emailing. Basically the same advantages as any online forum, but as far as I can tell, online forums in general are underused.
Online forums have advantages over
-meeting in person. How many people have the ability to instantly meet the people they want to be in the group with whenever/wherever they want? Let's take organizing a school club as an example. If you limit yourself to meeting in person, you will try to find a time that as many people can show up as possible, I would suppose. But students are available at particularly odd times. Some work at different times, some take classes at different times. Furthermore, the inconvenience of the meeting place will be different for different students. Some have cars and live a few minutes from the school or proposed meeting place, while some don't have a car, and don't live in the same city.
-telephone. Obviously telephones usually only involve two people at a time. If you want to be a real group, you want everyone to be more or less equally informed about what everyone is saying, and telephones don't help very much with that.
-email. With email you can reach many people without worrying about locations or time conflicts, it quickly becomes difficult to follow the thread of discussion if it becomes more than someone sending short messages.
Yet it is often the case that groups revolve around weekly or bi-weekly hour long sessions, in which it is somewhat kosher to send out a group email on occasion, and fine to phone someone as long as you are friends -(and friendship usually requires some additional connection).
When asked about this they often say that online communication is:
1) not as likely to lead to friendship and understanding when you can't see people's faces, etc. But having an online forum doesn't take away your ability to meet people in person, in fact it might make it more likely that people will bother to come out.
2) fake like face book. But face book is not designed the way a forum is so the comparison is not fair.
3) just too easy, and will attract people who don't really want to do anything but make comments. I think this entails a rather insidious concept for those interested in equality, the concept of the 'hard core activist'. I won't say too much about this because I think it deserves its own discussion. Suffice to say, I think behind the idea of the 'hard core activist' is a little bit of elitism going on, and often has little to do with trying to gain political changes.
4) unattractive to people and won't help organize. This one is particularly absurd. Of course if nobody ever promotes an online forum it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy that nobody wants to use it.
If I have laid out the pros and cons at all fairly, it seems that many groups have not properly considered the pros and cons of online forums/ z groups. That activist groups make should not be surprising. It is difficult to know for sure what works and what doesn't when it comes to organizing. Many do not have time to be professional organizers, and there are so many factors that go into the success or failure of organizing that it is sometimes difficult to think about them. Decisions about whether or not to find an online forum often get lost among more immediate concerns. Nevertheless, it is best to use as much information as one has, even if the information is imprecise.
Whatever the benefits to meeting in person, activist groups should not weigh the ideal possibilities of meeting in person against online communication, but the reality against online communication. It may be difficult but groups committed to face to face interaction should ask themselves if face to face interaction is really what they think it is. Is meeting every two weeks for an hour really conducive to in depth discussion? Is it even conducive to discussion? If a typical member of the group only has 3 minutes to communicate their ideas to the group, is that consistent with the reasons why the group is committed in-person-meetings? Do the practical realities of that organizational method lead to large scale exclusion?

It's always so nice when you can use almost the entire plant instead of just one part, and Strawberry Spinach draws out this pleasure by setting new leaves all season long. Snip off just what you need at the moment, and harvest more later! The foliage is slender, deeply lobed, and appears in rosettes along long, slender stems. You'll love it!
The berries are scrumptious as well. Quite small, they resemble raspberries more than strawberries, but there's no mistaking that bright strawberry-red hue! The berries arise at the base of each stem, and a plant in full fruit is a glorious sight!
Grow Strawberry Spinach in full sun (direct-sowing the seeds works best) and rich, fertile soil. It reaches about 18 inches high and 12 inches wide, and needs no staking or supports. Easy and trouble-free, it's an exciting new addition to the herb garden, vegetable patch, or even the flowering annual bed! Pkt is 50 seeds.

"Words are inadequate for the amount of gratitude I feel toward my donor and his family," Copeland said. "They are the true heroes."
Copeland was one of 12 organ and tissue transplant recipients who stood on stage Saturday at Nightingale Concert Hall at the University of Nevada, Reno to personally thank more than 20 families in the audience that lost a loved one who donated their organs and tissues. The families were being honored by the California Transplant Donor Network (CTDN), an Oakland, Calif.-based organization that facilitates donations of organs and tissues for transplant.
Cindy Siljestrom, CEO of CTDN, did her best to describe how their corporation and how transplant recipients perceive donor families.
"In times of desperation and hopelessness, transplant recipients depend on the graciousness of someone they don't know," she said during the ceremony. "Hero is not a strong enough word."
Dr. Kenneth Moritsugu, former acting surgeon general of the United States, addressed the audience of families with acknowledgement of the confusion of emotion surrounding organ donation.
"It is a day for remembrance, celebration and for mixed feelings. We feel pride and joy mixed with sadness in missing (our loved ones') presence," Moritsugu said. "But one constant feeling is love."
Moritsugu stressed the importance of raising awareness of the need for organ donors by saying the 114,000 people who are in need of a transplant would overflow Cowboys Stadium in Dallas. He lost his wife and daughter in separate auto accidents more than 15 years ago, and recalled the feelings he had when their salvageable organs and tissues were donated.
"My family found comfort and solace in that while they grieved others reaped the benefits of a longer life," he said.
Reno native Paul Saucedo approached the podium to share his life-changing story of a liver transplant from a donor he never had the chance to meet. Saucedo said Saturday marked the 52nd anniversary of his operation.
"Words simply cannot suffice to show the appreciation that (recipients) feel, so the best way I can possibly say it is thank you very much," he said.
Saucedo then introduced 12 men and women who had received transplants and allowed them to personally thank the families. One woman who grabbed the microphone was 24-year-old Lauren Martelle, a former Spanish Springs High School student who received a liver transplant after a blood clot threatened her life. She said the event was important to honor the families and raise awareness about donating organs.
"When I needed a transplant, my family and I knew nothing about organ donation," Martelle said. She went on to graduate from UNR and now volunteers at Sierra Nevada Donate Life where she continues to spread the word about the importance of organ donation.
Copeland stood alongside Martelle to give her thanks to the families, though she has become very close with the family of her personal donor. They have followed her as she competes in athletic events, such as the United States Transplant Games and the Arizona Ironman race, and she feels living as healthy as possible is the best way to honor the family.
"I know that I can't bring back their son, but my goal is to somehow bring comfort to them however I can," she said.

Hi all,
First of all i noticed that some could and some could not upgrade to firmware 2.2
After doing some tests of my own i found out that everytime i used quickpwn2.1-1 the activation did not survice a upgrade to 2.2
So i tried to do a upgrade from a 2.0 activated iphone and it worked perfectly. Only this time i used QuickPWNRC3
The procedure:
Make a backup of your iphone
Restore in DFU to 2.0
Run QuickPWNRC3 (don't bother with cydia and installer, you will lose them anyway in 2.2 for now)
After the activation setup the iphone as a new iphone
Then just let itunes upgrade to 2.2
Restore the backup and your fine
Hope this helps setting your iphone up !
O and i used itunes 8.0.1

Jon Grubb
I studied Judo from age 10 and also karate from about 16 until 1984 when injury forced me to stop both, however during a weekend karate course the visiting instructor did some tai chi chuan and this sparked my interest in learning more. Unfortunately on the small Island on which I live there were no instructors. I subsequently went to a class for about 4 weeks in the early Nineties but what was being taught didn¡¦t inspire me. Then in 1997 I started an Adult Recreation Class for Wu Style Tai Chi Chuan which was being taken by Brian Cook. I became a Disciple 4th December 2004 and attend classes, seminars and workshops at the London Academy whenever possible.
Lezayre Parish Community Hall, Clenagh Road, Sulby.
Mixed class: Every Tuesday form 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm

QB: Packers' Aaron Rodgers at Colts
Ranked the No. 11 quarterback on both Yahoo! and NFL.com, Rodgers has been a far cry from the top QB he was drafted to be. But against the Saints last week Rodgers again looked like the MVP, throwing for a season-high 319 yards and four touchdowns while not taking any sacks. Even though the Colts had extra time to prepare for the Packers, they don't have the personnel to slow Rodgers, let alone stop him.

Help Build A Skatepark In Watts
Tony Hawk Foundation announces latest skatepark Grant Awards.
The proposed skatepark plan for the Watts Towers site complements and celebrates the adjacent historic landmark.
The Tony Hawk Foundation Board of Directors has announced the recipients of its Fall 2009 Skatepark Grant Awards, as well as a special allocation to match, dollar-for-dollar, donations to the Watts Skatepark project in Los Angeles.
From the 52 applications submitted for this season's Grant Review Session, the Board of Directors selected fourteen from low-income communities across the U.S., and collectively awarded $130,000 to help build free, quality skateparks that will serve at-risk youth.
Fall 2009 Tony Hawk Foundation Grant Recipients
San Luis Obispo, California
Mount Airy, North Carolina
Lyndonville, Vermont
Aurora, Illinois
Brooklyn, New York
Wilmington, Ohio
Dormont Borough, Pennsylvania
Estherville, Iowa
Lyons, Michigan
Mecosta, Michigan
Royalton, Minnesota
Commercial Township, New Jersey
Greenfield, Ohio
Martinsville, Virginia
The Board also allocated $10,000 in matching funds for the Watts Skatepark project in Los Angeles. Through January 15, 2010 all donations made via skatewatts.org will be MATCHED by the Tony Hawk Foundation*. Having helped launch it in October, the Tony Hawk Foundation is also featuring the Watts Skatepark project during the Athletes For Hope Who Gives? Racing For A Cause challenge, a widely publicized fundraising event hosted by globalgiving.org/athletes-for-hope/.
With few alternatives to crime, gangs, and drugs, youth in the Watts community struggle daily to find healthy pastimes that can keep them engaged and active. Through this effort to build a free-quality public skatepark in Watts, the Tony Hawk Foundation is helping local youth realize their dream of a world-class skatepark.
Make a contribution during this limited campaign, and the impact of your donation will be DOUBLED. Visit skatewatts.org and support the youth of Watts today.
(*All donations made during the Who Gives? Racing For A Cause challenge—December 15, 2009 through January 15, 2010—will be matched by the Tony Hawk Foundation, up to $10,000.)

"Bake Me A Cake" Table Lamp
The clincher? The name of the lamp comes from the classic cartoon story where a mother bakes a file into a cake for her imprisoned son to help him escape. Love it!
via Contemporist
(Images: 1 & 2.Northern Lighting, 3.Contemporist)
9 Comments
This is ridiculously original and clever and making me really regret not buying the old cake tray I came across at a thrift store this week. Love it!
Mark me down for one, gorgeous.
Lovely, and my baker friend would LOVE this!
That's a nice one! I just posted lamps and color/light planning on my blog, come around and have a look at "+"Marialamontagne.blogpost.nl
Thanks for sharing! Lots of love & hugs,
I need this in my life!!
I've never seen anything like this. I love it!
Beautiful (love the steam-punk look). The fact that these will be made by inmates at a correctional facility further adds to the story of the lamp. Double awesome for me.
I definitely need this in my house. any tips on how we in the US should go about purchasing this awesome lamp?
I love the story behind the lamp. makes is so special!
As easy as it seems like it would be to make, I would definatley purchase it instead. I can not imagaine most glass cake domes being able to handle the heat of even a 40 watt bulb for prolonged use.
